The second old man hesitated immediately. Over the years, he had not complained about his eldest brother.
Nowadays, the people of the Su family who serve as officials in the court, except for Su Jinxun, are only the fourth-rank officials who are sent to the outside world. When the eldest brother truly becomes an official, the Su family is really in despair.
The younger generation has not yet grown up, who can lead the Su family to glory? Now it is time to make plans.
He also did not allow his eldest brother to be cautious anymore. The Su family must have someone with courage to stand up and lead the clan.
The third prince is just a round-about in-law. Even if the Su family does not seek refuge with him in the future, it will make sense.
The third prince can take refuge, why can't the fifth prince?
When he thought of this, the second old man made up his mind.
"Go and find out what's going on in everyone's house recently. Since the Fifth Prince lives in our Su Mansion, we can't ignore it. We might as well make plans as soon as possible."
Su Wenhui felt happy and left the study after receiving the permission.
The second old man looked out the window at the garden. It was late autumn now and the garden was in a state of depression. Only the chrysanthemums were in full bloom.
"Brother, it's not my fault. I can only blame you for being too incompetent and selfish."
…
After writing the last stroke, Su Yizhao took a deep breath, and it was finally over.
Today is the last day of the third session of the provincial examination, and she has already finished the answer sheet.
After checking again as usual, Su Yizhao rang the bell without hesitation.
Seeing the official sealing the papers, Su Yizhao packed up his belongings and couldn't wait to go out.
Mi Fengguan sneezed twice, and when he saw Su Yizhao putting away the incense, he immediately wanted to roll his eyes.
It's so fragrant that it gives me a headache, and I don't know how I can stand it.
In fact, Su Yizhao had been feeling extremely uncomfortable these past two days. She described herself as haggard, like a frosted eggplant, and could no longer be energetic.
Even his normally neat clothes had wrinkles that could not be smoothed out, and he looked quite embarrassed.
When Su Wenqing came out of Longmen before, he looked like a suave person. Now it's his son's turn, and he looks like this.
For the first time, she embarrassed Su Wenqing.
Under the envious gazes of all the candidates, Su Yizhao strode out of the examination booth without hesitation and walked towards the dragon gate.
As soon as she stepped out of the yard, the warm sunshine shone on her body, which immediately dissipated a lot of the cold air and made her feel a little better.
She raised her head and squinted at the sky. The bright sunshine made her feel like she had not seen the sun for a long time.
"Master!" came the servant's surprised voice.
Su Yizhao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that her silly attendant was still waving at her with a big smile on his face.
Su Yizhao felt that he didn't even have the strength to speak, so he could only raise his hand to wave.
When the attendant drove the carriage through the crowd, he was shocked when he saw Su Yizhao's appearance.
At this moment, the young master's face was particularly pale, bloodless, and very haggard. It looked like he had been hungry for a few days. His entire face had become smaller and his eyes were larger than before.
The wrinkles in his outer robe reminded him of the pickles in the vat, because not only were they wrinkled, they also seemed to have a smell.
I can't tell what the smell is, it's like aromatherapy, and it's like a stink. Anyway, the two contrast with each other, it's very strange and indescribable, but it's also impossible to ignore.
Especially Su Yizhao's listless appearance was the first time Shi Fang had seen him.
I remember that when the master came out of the provincial examination, he was still suave and graceful. When compared with the young master, it is simply incomparable!
With this thought in his mind, the waiter couldn't help but ask.
"Master, why are you in such a mess? When the master came out, he was in high spirits!"
When the waiter thought about it, he suddenly thought that the master had won the exam. He was very high-spirited. Could it be that the young master was stumped by the question, and that was why he was so worried?
As a result, he didn't dare to talk any more, lest he make the young master sad.
Su Yizhao didn't intend to pay attention to the waiter at all. She quickly climbed onto the carriage and ordered: "Go to the teahouse."
As soon as he arrived at the teahouse, Su Yizhao ignored the shopkeeper who followed him with a flattering smile, and casually ordered, "Bring up the hot water, I want to take a bath, and prepare some food by the way."
Seeing that Su Yizhao looked haggard, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately gave orders.
The waiter was very fast and had hot water always on hand. He brought it up in just a moment.
Su Yizhao couldn't wait any longer after asking the waiter to guard the door. She just wanted to take a quick bath so that he could sleep in darkness.
After peeling off her clothes, Su Yizhao quickly got into the water. When the warm water washed her body, she sighed comfortably.
Although I haven’t eaten much in the past few days, cleanliness is more important than being hungry.
The washed hair was wet and stuck to her shoulders. Su Yizhao raised her head and leaned on the edge of the tub. Although she had washed her hair, she still wanted to take a bath to soak away the fatigue from her body.
Being steamed by the heat, Su Yizhao's eyelids suddenly drooped.
Fighting back her sleepiness, Su Yizhao knew she couldn't fall asleep, so she prepared to get up with sleepy eyes.
However, just as she was about to stand up, the window was suddenly opened, and a figure quickly appeared on the window sill.
Su Yizhao suddenly jumped into the water and sank into the water. She was so frightened that she lost her soul.
I looked up and found that it was an old acquaintance.
But I saw the young man in front of me wearing a crimson robe with a stand-up collar and right hem, with tangled flowers embroidered on the collar and cuffs. Look at the white bat jade pendant hanging on his waist, and the gold-inlaid jade hair crown on his head, which looks luxurious.
abnormal.
Angry in her heart, she blurted out: "Your Highness is so excited! Do you still like to climb on other people's windowsills in broad daylight?"
When the fifth prince opened the window, he saw a man sitting in a wooden barrel with only his head exposed. Before he could take a closer look, he heard sarcastic words.
He looked over and then was stunned.
This? Looks familiar! The fifth prince thought in his mind, but when the other person called him His Highness, he must have known him.
Taking a closer look at the other person's face, he suddenly realized.
"Hey! Is it Mr. Su Qi? You came out of Gongyuan? What a coincidence."
The fifth prince had a big smile on his face. After speaking, he calmly closed the window, walked to the round table, sat down, picked up the teapot and poured himself a bowl of tea.
He observed Su Yizhao carefully again. Last time, Su Yizhao kept his head down, so he didn't take a close look at the other person's appearance, but now he looked at the water lotus.
But why does this boy look like a girl? If he hadn't known Su Yizhao's identity, he would have thought it was some girl taking a bath.
Su Yizhao was naturally angry at the fifth prince's indifferent appearance.
The problem is that if the fifth prince doesn't leave, how can he get out? The water is a bit cold, and it's late autumn now, so he might catch a cold.
Seeing Su Yizhao glaring at him, he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "You can wash yours. There is no need to entertain His Highness."
